Every year from July to October, humpback whales migrate through Panama's Pacific waters. Be on the boat when these giants pass — then cool off snorkeling beautiful reefs.
From July through October — with August and September the peak — humpback whales travel through Panama's Pacific waters on their migration, and sightings from the boat are common. Watching a mother and calf breach against the backdrop of the islands is a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
We combine whale watching with snorkeling stops at beautiful reefs, so you get the best of both worlds. Sightings are never guaranteed — this is wild nature — but our guides know where the whales tend to pass. Gear, life vests and lunch included.
Trained guides who know every reef, current and hidden cove.

Coiba is a favorite family day out. We bring child-size masks, fins and life vests, pick the calmest shallow reefs, and children 12 and under enter the park free — though the $70 boat fare still applies to all ages. Just tell us the kids' ages when you book.
Between July and October, humpback whales travel thousands of kilometers from the Southern Hemisphere to breed and give birth in the warm, protected waters around Coiba. Our whale tour runs on a private boat ($700–$800 depending on group size) with a crew that includes three guides certified in responsible whale and dolphin watching — meaning we know the legal distances, the approach angles and, above all, how to give the animals space while giving you the sighting of a lifetime.
These are wild animals, so no honest operator can promise a whale. What we promise is the right water, the right season and certified eyes that know where to look.
